One month (well, one month & 2 days) til we hit the mountains of Tahoe for our team race. I am feeling very positive lately, and our team is doing great in terms of training and fundraising.

Please keep sending me your support!

As some of you may be aware, I am a mentor and coach for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. I am asking for your help and support in my fundraising efforts as part of our summer session and build-up towards our team event, a 100-mile cycling race in Lake Tahoe on June 5, 2011.

And here’s something you can have fun with: for every sponsor who donates $100 or more, I will honor you by tattooing your name on my leg during the race (no, it’s not going to be permanent, that will cost extra).

This will be my 3rd event with Team in Training (TNT). Our group’s mission is to fund groundbreaking research for blood cancers, such as Leukemia, Lymphoma, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Myeloma. With your help, I plan on surpassing over $10,000 of personal fundraising dollars in total since 2007. Any support that you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave Mayell

Racing to Save Lives

Welcome to my Team In Training home page. I am once again training as a member of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Team In Training (TNT). On June 5, 2011 I will participate with thousands of other TNT participants in a 100-mile bike ride around Lake Tahoe.

All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line - a cure.

Please make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLS's mission. Anything you can donate, whether it is small or large, is greatly appreciated.

Anyone who donates $100 or more will get their name on my leg during the race so I can honor your donation. Thanks for your support!

Finally spring has come and it's warm enough (and bright enough) to get riding after work. Put down a quick 25 miles on Monday night...perfect views from across the bridge

What a GREAT ride it was on Saturday, April 9th. I think this will be the ride known as "snacks and sunshine" because we had BOTH in abundance for this 40-mile hill day.

A great turn-out and some great pictures (see below).
